It’s funny because my hypothesis surrounded racial discrimination, but I looked at discrimination that could’ve been attributed to more than race (eg weight, religion, etc.).
In many ways, it’s the exact type of study he asked for, but for some reason, it’s a “DEI activity”.
Oh my. I am sorry to the current med students that this person is being propped up as an example of *success* from their program.

The singling out of a state for political punishment, by selectively denying it access to federal funds, violates every principle of the Union.

What (if any) options exist for people to switch residency programs/specialties? Say one realizes they aren’t cut out for surgery, but have already completed more of a residency than would be required of some other areas of practice?

If this is her framing, I guess no surprise she won't recommend them since she is not a licensed medical practitioner so can't see/counsel patients.
Also, vaccines are not "medications" and people getting vaccines do so to avoid becoming "patients" who need treatment for preventable illness.
“Dr. Means has also repeatedly railed against the conventional medical system… She is skeptical of some vaccines and has repeated the debunked claim that they could be linked to autism. She has spoken out against bans on raw milk, which can contain dangerous bacteria.” We’re in upside down land.

Casey Means is a charlatan with dangerous views on contraception, raw milk, vaccines and has a whole lot of conflict of interest--she's making money off it all.
